 Chapter 3186: An Unexpected Turn of Events

"Great Ancestor!"

"Great Ancestor!"

Seeing the nine-tailed celestial fox appear in the mist, the Ancestral Spirit trembled violently, instantly transforming into a celestial fox and flying into the sky, prostrating itself before the nine-tailed celestial fox.

Not just him, but Su Jin, Su Shen, and Su Li also transformed into their original forms and knelt before the nine-tailed celestial fox.

Its body shimmering with silver light, exuding nobility, with nine tails - this was the image of their ancestor.

The nine-tailed celestial fox raised its head and let out a long howl. The mist immediately began to churn violently.

The black world formed by the Black Blood Realm collided with the mist, like the clash of water and fire, erupting in violent tremors.

Powerful forces surged wildly through this ancestral land called Qingqiu. Endless mist continuously spread towards the black world, as if to drive out this uninvited guest.

At the same time, the mist also enveloped the origin spirit vein, dispersing the black blood within it.

This was the Dao of Destiny belonging to the Celestial Fox ancestor, his final measure left here.

He had once foreseen that the Celestial Fox clan would face great tribulation, so he left this measure.

The two forces collided violently, shaking the entire ancestral land.

In the dark world, the Black Blood Sword Saint slowly opened his eyes.

His cold, merciless blood-colored gaze fell upon the Celestial Fox ancestor.

The Celestial Fox ancestor continued to howl, staring intently at the opponent.

Then the Black Blood Sword Saint looked at Lin Moyu, and suddenly a voice rang out, "You should die!"

Lin Moyu sneered, "I don't know if I should die, but you should go and die."

The Celestial Fox ancestor suddenly charged forward mid-howl, transforming into a silver light, moving at an astonishing speed, killing its way into the dark world.

Silver light burst from its body, and darkness retreated wherever it passed, shattering space layer by layer.

The Black Blood Sword Saint suddenly swung his sword, slashing out countless blood-colored sword lights.

The Celestial Fox ancestor neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the sword lights to strike its body.

Its huge body instantly became illusory, and the blood-colored sword lights passed through its body without effect.

The Celestial Fox ancestor instantly passed through the sword lights, arriving before the Black Blood Sword Saint, and bit down.

This time, the Celestial Fox ancestor changed from illusory to solid, biting down firmly.

Bang!

Half of the Black Blood Sword Saint's body exploded, and he retreated in a sorry state.

As he retreated, the Black Blood Sword Saint's body rapidly recovered, returning to normal in the blink of an eye.

The people of the Black Blood Realm had extremely fast recovery speeds; this was their characteristic.

This characteristic was somewhat similar to the Outer Realm Gods, but the Black Blood Realm's recovery speed was faster, and they were harder to kill. As long as a single drop of blood remained, they could find a way to revive.

For Outer Realm Gods, it was difficult to injure them, but once their defense was broken, there wasn't much difference.

The Celestial Fox ancestor forcefully tore through the dark world, chasing the Black Blood Sword Saint again. Its nine huge tails directly lashed out.

With a tremendous sound, the Black Blood Sword Saint's entire body exploded, turning into countless drops of black blood.

At this moment, the Celestial Fox ancestor suddenly spewed out a large amount of mist. The black blood made sizzling sounds in the mist, rapidly dissolving.

A large amount of black blood frantically fled, evolving into small Black Blood Sword Saints along the way.

Then the small Black Blood Sword Saints combined again, turning back into the large Black Blood Sword Saint.

But the Celestial Fox ancestor caught up again, its nine tails lashing out like lightning, once more shattering the Black Blood Sword Saint.

The entire battle was one-sided, with the Black Blood Sword Saint completely outmatched by the Celestial Fox ancestor, being utterly suppressed.

"The ancestor is so strong!" The Ancestral Spirit watched the Celestial Fox ancestor suppress the Black Blood Sword Saint, its eyes filled with admiration.

Su Li and the other two were equally excited. This was the Celestial Fox ancestor, a truly legendary existence. Being able to witness its battle firsthand was a lifetime's honor.

Even though what they saw now was just a measure left behind by the Celestial Fox ancestor, it was still the Celestial Fox ancestor.

Lin Moyu observed all this, his heart also somewhat shaken.

"The measure left behind by the Celestial Fox ancestor should still be at the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm, perhaps at the peak of the ninth level, but definitely hasn't broken through the ninth level."

"However, its understanding of the Dao is too profound. Using the Dao of Destiny, it shifts between illusion and reality, and predicts the opponent's movements, thus controlling every step of the opponent."

Lin Moyu understood the Dao of Destiny, so he saw more clearly, understanding the principles behind it.

The shifting between illusion and reality and predicting the future of the Dao of Destiny were the root reasons why the Celestial Fox ancestor could suppress the opponent.

While observing the battle, Lin Moyu was also learning.

Regardless of what realm the measure left by the Celestial Fox ancestor was at, its battle experience was real. Lin Moyu could learn a lot from it.

From the Celestial Fox ancestor's fighting style, it was clear that it was very skilled in combat, striking fast, accurately, and ruthlessly, giving the opponent no chance to counterattack.

Once it gained the upper hand, it would press the advantage to the death.

Compared to the current Celestial Fox clan, their combat power was not even in the same league.

The current Celestial Fox clan was known for not being good at fighting, but the Celestial Fox ancestor was not like this.

"I really don't know what you've lost!"

"No wonder you have the bloodline but can't comprehend the Dao of Destiny."

"Combat is the most important ability for survival in this world. You've taken the wrong path."

Lin Moyu sighed inwardly. Through generations of inheritance, the Celestial Fox clan was becoming weaker because they had taken the wrong path.

They abandoned combat and only pursued luck.

Although this made the Celestial Fox clan's destiny flourish and produced many powerful individuals,

These powerful individuals had lost the sharpness of true strength.

So the Celestial Fox clan lacked combat power, and their Dao hearts were very fragile. Only a few would go to the Fox Tail Sword to temper their Dao hearts.

Lin Moyu's gaze swept over the Ancestral Spirit and the three others. They were watching the battle between the Celestial Fox ancestor and the Black Blood Sword Saint, not noticing Lin Moyu's actions.

"I hope you can understand," Lin Moyu thought to himself.

He couldn't tell Su Mou that their race had taken the wrong path.

He wasn't the Beast Emperor, nor was he the Celestial Fox ancestor. What right did an outsider have to say such things?

Moreover, setting aside the desire to help others and respecting others' destinies had always been Lin Moyu's principle.

If he hadn't seen the black blood this time, Lin Moyu wouldn't have come.

The black blood was repeatedly scattered, its power growing weaker and weaker.

The black blood force in the origin spirit vein was also mostly dispersed, and the darkness could no longer receive sufficient replenishment.

In the struggle for the origin spirit vein, the Black Blood Realm was also at a disadvantage.

The origin spirit vein originally belonged to the Celestial Fox ancestor. As an outsider, the Black Blood Realm naturally couldn't compete with the Celestial Fox ancestor.

The Black Blood Sword Saint grew weaker and weaker, increasingly unable to withstand the onslaught.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should end soon."

"But why do I feel like something unexpected is about to happen?"

Suddenly, a black light shot down from the depths of Qingqiu towards the Celestial Fox ancestor.

The Celestial Fox ancestor seemed to have anticipated this situation, its paw striking out in advance, dispersing the black light.

However, because of this, its fierce attack on the Black Blood Sword Saint paused for a moment.

The Black Blood Sword Saint roared in anger, his body exploding with blood light. Powerful forces surged, forcibly pushing back the Celestial Fox ancestor.

He took the opportunity to transform into a line of blood, flying towards the depths of Qingqiu.

The Celestial Fox ancestor didn't pursue, only coldly watching the depths of Qingqiu.

This sudden turn of events surprised the Ancestral Spirit and the others.

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Indeed, something unexpected has occurred."

His spiritual perception once again proved useful, confirming that something unexpected had indeed happened.

The mist continued to surge, occupying more territory, reclaiming all the areas previously taken by the Black Blood Sword Saint.

The black blood force on the origin spirit vein was also retreating, the origin spirit vein returning to its original state, and the entire Qingqiu was recovering.

The Celestial Fox ancestor stared at the depths of Qingqiu, its large eyes extremely sharp.

From the depths of Qingqiu, another equally large celestial fox flew out.

It was completely black, with eight tails swaying slowly behind it in the air.

The black celestial fox emitted an even stronger power than the Celestial Fox ancestor, seemingly having broken through the ninth-level Dao Venerable realm.

The Black Blood Sword Saint stood on its head, his sword pointing at the Celestial Fox ancestor!
